Referring toFIG. 1A , an opticalimage sensing module 100 of the present embodiment includes abase 110, anoptical body 120, asensing unit 130, at least one light emittingcomponent 140, and asubstrate 150. For example, in this embodiment, thelight emitting component 140 can be an infrared light emitting diode, and can provide infrared light. Thesensing unit 130 is, for example, a charge coupled device (CCD), a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS), or other image sensing components, but the disclosure is not limited thereto. In addition, in the present embodiment, the number of thelight emitting component 140 is exemplified as two, but the disclosure is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the number of thelight emitting component 140 may be only one. - Specifically, as shown in
FIG. 1A toFIG. 1C , in the embodiment, thebase 110 has alight shielding portion 111 and abottom portion 112. Thelight shielding portion 111 is located at the center of thebase 110 and protrudes from thebottom portion 112. Thelight shielding portion 111 has a first opening O1. Thebottom portion 112 of thebase 110 has a second opening O2 to correspond to thelight shielding portion 111 and at least one third opening O3 adjacent to the second opening O2. On the other hand, as shown inFIG. 1A toFIG. 1C , in the embodiment, theoptical body 120 is located on thebase 110 and has alens portion 121 and alight guiding portion 122. Thelens portion 121 is located at the center of theoptical body 120 and is connected to thelight guiding portion 122. Thelens portion 121 is adjacent to the first opening O1 of thelight shielding portion 111. Moreover, in the present embodiment, thelight emitting component 140 is disposed in the third opening O3 of thebase 110, and thesensing unit 130 is disposed in the second opening O2 of thebase 110. - More specifically, as shown in
FIG. 1C , in the embodiment, thelens portion 121 of theoptical body 120 is recessed relative to thelight guiding portion 122, and thelight guiding portion 122 surrounds thelens portion 121. In this manner, a closed accommodating space is formed between theoptical body 120 and thebottom portion 112 of thebase 110, thereby accommodating thelight shielding portion 111 of thebase 110. For example, in the embodiment, both thebase 110 and theoptical body 120 can be formed by injection molding, and thus the manufacturing cost is low. That is, in the embodiment, thebase 110 and theoptical body 120 are integrally formed, wherein the base 110 can be a black shading material, and the external stray light can be shielded, and the interior of theoptical body 120 is totally reflected and may be a transparent or non-transparent material as long as it can be used to guide light to travel and converge light. - For example, as shown in
FIG. 1C , in the embodiment, theoptical body 120 has a light incident end IE and a light output end OE, and thelight emitting component 140 is located adjacent to the light incident end IE of theoptical body 120. Thelight emitting component 140 is adapted to provide a light beam that enters theoptical body 120 through the light incident end IE of theoptical body 120, and the light beam exits theoptical body 120 from the light output end OE. - Specifically, as shown in
FIG. 1B andFIG. 1C , in the present embodiment, thelens portion 121 has an optical axis O, and thelight guiding portion 122 is axially symmetrical with respect to the optical axis O of thelens portion 121. More specifically, in this embodiment, on the other hand, thelight guiding portion 122 has a light incident surface ILS and a light output surface OLS, wherein the light incident surface ILS is located at the light incident end IE of theoptical body 120, and the light output surface OLS is located at the light output end OE of theoptical body 120, and a light emitting surface of thelight emitting component 140 faces the light incident surface ILS of thelight guiding portion 122 so that the light beam can enter theoptical body 120 through the light incident surface ILS. For example, in the present embodiment, as shown inFIG. 1C , the light incident surface ILS of theoptical body 120 is recessed relative to the edge at the light incident end IE of theoptical body 120, thus enhancing the effect of light incidence. - More specifically, as shown in
FIG. 1B andFIG. 1C , in the embodiment, thelens portion 121 of theoptical body 120 has a first optical surface OS1 and a second optical surface OS2, and the first optical surface OS1 and the second optical surface OS2 are opposite to each other, and the first optical face OS1 faces thebase 110. Meanwhile, thelight guiding portion 122 further has an outer peripheral surface OPS, a first inner peripheral surface IPS1, and a second inner peripheral surface IPS2. The outer peripheral surface OPS of thelight guiding portion 122 connects the light output surface OLS and the light incident surface ILS. The first inner peripheral surface IPS1 connects the light incident surface ILS of thelight guiding portion 122 and the first optical surface OS1 of thelens portion 121, and the first inner peripheral surface IPS1 surrounds thelight shielding portion 111 of thebase 110, and the second inner peripheral surface IPS2 connects the light output surface OLS of thelight guiding portion 122 and the second optical surface OS2 of thelens portion 121. Further, as shown inFIG. 1B andFIG. 1C , in the present embodiment, the outer peripheral surface OPS is a curved surface, and the outer peripheral surface OPS protrudes toward the outside of theoptical body 120. - Thus, by the structural configuration of the light incident surface ILS, the outer peripheral surface OPS, the first inner peripheral surface IPS1, the second inner peripheral surface IPS2, and the light output surface OLS of the
optical body 120, theoptical body 120 can make the light beam to enter theoptical body 120 through the light incident surface ILS, and then guide the light beam through the outer peripheral surface OPS, the first inner peripheral surface IPS1, and the second inner peripheral surface IPS2 of thelight guiding portion 122 to travel inside theoptical body 120, and outputted through the light output surface OLS of thelight guiding portion 122. On the other hand, as shown inFIG. 1D , the light output surface OLS of theoptical body 120 may be provided with a plurality of annular microstructures MS. With the microstructures MS, the light output surface OLS of theoptical body 120 can reach the effect of Fresnel lens, so that the light beam that is outputted through the light output surface OLS can be further collimated. - Then, when the light beam exits the
light guiding portion 122 of theoptical body 120, the light beam is transmitted to an object and then reflected. For example, in this embodiment, the object may be a media surface with identification code information. For example, as shown inFIG. 1B andFIG. 1C , in the embodiment, the second optical surface OS2 of thelens portion 121 is a convex surface, and the second optical surface OS2 is protruded toward a direction away from theoptical body 120. Moreover, as required by the structure to be formed, in the present embodiment, the second inner peripheral surface IPS2, the light output surface OLS and the second optical surface OS2 form a tapered recessed structure together. Further, the first opening O1 of thelight shielding portion 111 is located at one end of thelight shielding portion 111 facing thelens portion 121 to form an aperture stop AS. The aperture stop AS is located between thelens portion 121 and thesensing unit 130 and is located directly below thelens portion 121. In this manner, the reflected light beam can be transmitted to thesensing unit 130 through thelens portion 121 and the aperture stop AS, and the light beam reflected by the object can be focused on thesensing unit 130 through the optical surfaces of thelens portion 121, such that thesensing unit 130 can sense the identification code on the object through the light beam reflected by the object. - In this manner, the optical
image sensing module 100 is designed by making thelens portion 121 and thelight guiding portion 122 to form a structure of anoptical body 120 together, thereby integrating and reducing the number of components in the module, and thus reducing the size of the opticalimage sensing module 100. Moreover, since thebase 110 and theoptical body 120 of the opticalimage sensing module 100 can be formed by injection molding, cost can be decreased. In addition, the opticalimage sensing module 100 can isolate the internal optical component from the outside through the arrangement of thelens portion 121 and thelight guiding portion 122, thereby achieving a dustproof function. - On the other hand, as shown in
FIG. 1C , in the present embodiment, thelight shielding portion 111 is a hollow structure and has acolumnar portion 111 a and atapered end portion 111 b, wherein thecolumnar portion 111 a connects thetapered end portion 111 b and thebottom portion 112 of thebase 110, and the inner diameter of thetapered end portion 111 b is gradually reduced toward thelens portion 121, such that thelight shielding portion 111 covers the upper side of thesensing unit 130. In other words, in the present embodiment, the second opening O2 of thelight shielding portion 111 is larger than the first opening O1. For example, in the embodiment, the first opening O1 of thelight shielding portion 111 is located on the tip end of thetapered end portion 111 b, but the disclosure is not limited thereto. In this manner, since thelight shielding portion 111 covers thesensing unit 130 by the arrangement of thecolumnar portion 111 a and thetapered end portion 111 b, and thebottom portion 112 of the base 110 also surrounds the periphery of thesensing unit 130, thebase 100 helps to block the stray light transmitted through thelight guiding portion 122. - In addition, in the embodiment, the
base 110 and theoptical body 120 are also selectively provided with a positioning structure for fixing the relative position of thebase 110 and theoptical body 120 or thebase 110 and thesubstrate 150. For example, as shown inFIG. 1A andFIG. 1C , thebase 110 has at least one positioning protrusion PC, and theoptical body 120 has at least one positioning groove PG, wherein the at least one positioning protrusion PC protrudes into at least one positioning groove. (not shown), and can be used to fix the relative position of thebase 110 and theoptical body 120. On the other hand, as shown inFIG. 1A andFIG. 1C , thesubstrate 150 has a plurality of positioning holes that can be connected with a positioning structure (not shown) of the base 110 to fix the relative position of thebase 110 and thesubstrate 150. - In addition, as shown in
FIG. 1C andFIG. 1E , in the embodiment, thesubstrate 150 can include a circuit board, and thesensing unit 130 and thelight emitting component 140 are disposed on a surface of thesubstrate 150 and electrically connected to the circuit board. The opticalimage sensing module 100 can further include a connector (not shown) disposed on the other side of thesubstrate 150 facing away from thesensing unit 130. The connector can be electrically connected to the circuit board in thesubstrate 150 and an external terminal, and can be used to transmit the image signal obtained by thesensing unit 130. In this manner, the opticalimage sensing module 100 can achieve the function of reading the optical identification code on the object. -
FIG. 2A andFIG. 2B are cross-sectional views of different optical image sensing modules according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. An opticalimage sensing module 200A and an opticalimage sensing module 200B ofFIG. 2A andFIG. 2B are similar to the opticalimage sensing module 100 ofFIG. 1A toFIG. 1E , and the differences are as follows. As shown inFIG. 2A andFIG. 2B , in the embodiment, the opticalimage sensing module 200A and the opticalimage sensing module 200B include alight shielding cylinder 211, alight guiding body 222, alens 221, an infraredlight source 240, animage sensing component 230 and asubstrate 150. Specifically, as shown inFIG. 2A andFIG. 2B , in the embodiment ofFIG. 2A andFIG. 2B , the infraredlight source 240 is the same as thelight emitting component 140, and theimage sensing component 230 is the same as thesensing unit 130, and related description is not repeated herein. On the other hand, in the embodiment ofFIG. 2A andFIG. 2B , thelight shielding cylinder 211 is similar to thelight shielding portion 111 of thebase 110 ofFIG. 1A toFIG. 1D , and thelight guiding body 222 and thelens 221 are respectively similar to thelight guiding portion 122 and thelens portion 121 inFIG. 1A toFIG. 1D , and the difference is as follows. - Specifically, as shown in
FIG. 2A andFIG. 2B , in the embodiment ofFIG. 2A andFIG. 2B , thelight shielding cylinder 211 is disposed on the surface of thesubstrate 150 and also has a first opening O1 and a second opening O2 opposite to each other, but the first opening O1 of thelight shielding cylinder 211 is located at the center of acircular plate portion 211 b, and thelens 221 is adjacent to the first opening O1 of thelight shielding cylinder 211 to form the aperture stop AS. - Further, the
light shielding cylinder 211 is different from thelight shielding portion 111 of the embodiment ofFIG. 1A toFIG. 1D in that, as shown inFIG. 2A , thelight shielding cylinder 211 does not have the taperedend portion 111 b but has acircular plate portion 211 b. On the other hand, as shown inFIG. 2B , thelight shielding cylinder 211 only has one tapered portion C and does not have thecolumnar portion 111 a. However, in the embodiment ofFIG. 2A andFIG. 2B , the second opening O2 of thelight shielding cylinder 211 is larger than the first opening O1, so that thelight shielding cylinder 211 can still cover and surround theimage sensing component 230, which helps to block the stray light transmitted through thelight guiding body 222. - In addition, in the embodiment of
FIG. 2A andFIG. 2B , thelight guiding body 222 is located at the side of thelight shielding cylinder 211, and in the embodiment ofFIG. 2A andFIG. 2B , thelight guiding body 222 has two columnar structures respectively disposed on both sides of thelight shielding cylinder 211 and connected to thelens 221. In addition, in the embodiment ofFIG. 2A andFIG. 2B , thelight guiding body 222 and thelens 221 are also integrally formed, and thelens 221 and thelight guiding body 222 also form a recessed portion CA, so that thelight shielding cylinder 211 can be accommodated in the recessed portion CA. - In this manner, with the above structural configuration, the infrared light generated by the infrared
light source 240 enters thelight guiding body 222 from the light incident surface ILS of thelight guiding body 222, and then exits thelight guiding body 222 through the light exit surface OLS and is reflected on the media surface of the object, and enters thelight shielding cylinder 211 through thelens 221 to form an image on theimage sensing component 230. In this manner, the opticalimage sensing module 200A and the opticalimage sensing module 200B can also achieve the function of reading the optical identification code on the object. - With such configuration, in this embodiment, since the optical
image sensing module 200A and the opticalimage sensing module 200B have similar structures as the opticalimage sensing module 100 inFIG. 1A toFIG. 1E , it is possible to integrate and reduce the number of components in the module through the structure integrally formed by thelens 221 and thelight guiding body 222, thereby helping to reduce the size of the opticalimage sensing module 200A and the opticalimage sensing module 200B, thus achieving similar function. Therefore, the opticalimage sensing module 200A and the opticalimage sensing module 200B can achieve similar effects and advantages as the opticalimage sensing module 100, and related description will not be repeated herein. -
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of still another optical image sensing module according to an embodiment of the disclosure. An opticalimage sensing module 300 ofFIG. 3 is similar to the opticalimage sensing module 200A ofFIG. 2A , and the differences are as follows. As shown inFIG. 3 , in the embodiment, the opticalimage sensing module 300 further includes aspacer 312 disposed on the surface of thesubstrate 150 and located between theimage sensing component 230 and the infraredlight source 240. Moreover, as shown inFIG. 3 , in the present embodiment, thespacer 312 and thelight shielding cylinder 211 are integrally formed, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and thespacer 312 and thelight shielding cylinder 211 may be independent single components. In this manner, the opticalimage sensing module 300 can also block the stray light transmitted through thelight guiding body 222 through the arrangement of thelight shielding cylinder 211 and thespacer 312, so that theimage sensing component 230 can sense and read the identification code on the object more accurately. - In addition, in the embodiment, since the optical
image sensing module 300 has a similar structure as the opticalimage sensing module 200A and the opticalimage sensing module 200B ofFIG. 2A andFIG. 2B , it is possible to integrate and reduce the number of components in the module through the structure integrally formed by thelens 221 and thelight guiding body 222, thereby helping to reduce the size of the opticalimage sensing module 300, thus achieving similar function. Therefore, the opticalimage sensing module 300 can achieve similar effects and advantages as the opticalimage sensing module 200A, and related description will not be repeated herein. - In summary, the optical image sensing module of the embodiment of the present disclosure is designed by making the lens portion and the light guiding portion (or lens and light guiding body) to form an integral structure, thereby integrating and reducing the number of components in the module, and thus reducing the size of the optical image sensing module. Moreover, since the base and the optical body of the optical image sensing module can be formed by injection molding, cost can be decreased. In addition, the optical image sensing module can isolate the internal optical component from the outside through the arrangement of the lens portion and the light guiding portion (or lens and light guiding body), thereby achieving a dustproof function.
